i cant make ui on wpf because it is too hard i think im gonna stick with winform because it is much more easy to use and i am very familar with it. Wpf is too hard and i think it is only for pro ui developer not a average ui dev like me. So do you guys have any advices to make winform look as good as wpf?

You cant do a lot, i dont think winforms even has anti-alliasing which makes uis look a lot better, it just doesnt render as well as wpf

anti-aliasing is present on winforms for .NET 6/7 just not .NET framework

why are people just waking up and deciding 'im a ui dev'. i'll be honest if you're looking to improve yourself you wouldn't hesitate to invest a few hours to get familiar with .xaml.

 

also youre entire premise is malinformaed, you can create very good niterfaces in winforms, the only thing stopping you is yourself and your familiarity with UI design in general, conventions etc. The onyl limitaion of winforms would be in lack of flexibility in creating styles and animations, yet there are still workarounds for this, so if you are serious you will find no issue, and if you want to learn with a better framework/technology that is not deprecated, then you would gladly go with wpf / xaml since it has more capabilities and is more widely used. Even then WPF is not that popular. Winforms is severly outdated.

Use those like premade UI components for Winforms like Bunifu UI or whatever it's called. Also switch from .NET framework to .NET 6 or 7 because it has antialiasing
